Here's a question for the Bunnysol: Those trust levels - do they require everything in each subsection to be met, or any of them from the list will suffice? If it's everything, that's asking way too much of people and making it into a bloody full time job.

I suspect that was aimed at me. But it should be Kittysol! Anyway, I don't know. I think it is all based on new forum metric tracking. You have to meet everything to advance.

From the descriptions I've been given, it's adjustable. It was certainly inferred that they could make it dang near impossible to reach certain trust levels should they wish it.

We'll see.

Hopefully they keep it reasonable for us tech support folk. I mean, the MVPs in those areas tend to take the brunt of the TS stuff where possible, so making their work harder isn't in Blizzard's best interest.

So, you take away the down vote button because people were abusing it. Not using it for what it was intended for.But now, you are going to have our trust level depend onothers on the forums, and what they think of us?

Does the people who got banned in the past get their account unlocked ?

Also iirc back in 2013 i got a 3 day ban, that means i dont qualify for lvl 3 of Trust?

Current perma-bans will remain in effect after the transition. That hasn't changed as that is an account level flag. From what I read though, for the purposes of accounts in good standing, trust levels will depend solely on what you say/do on and after the day of the forum transition. So long as you aren't in the middle of any account infraction during the transition and you haven't incurred an in-game permaban, you have a chance to work your way up legitimately.

What's the point of a post counter if you're gonna reset it out of nowhere?!

just ditch the idea altogether :)

The post counter will have some relevance as it indirectly pertains to the trust level acquisition. It can be a sort of mini-barometer of where you might stand with regard to your own trust level. And given the level of moderation with the new forum format, those with relatively high post counts are likely those that have amassed few, if any, infractions since said infractions affects both your trust levels and your future ability to make posts.

I think Snowfox will be just fine :) The regulars here have seen the threads discussing the changes now for a few months so are likely ready for them.

I will ask here since I haven't seen anything on it yet.

Mira, can you confirm if a suspension from the Forums will result in a suspension from the game? Asking primarily because other posters have said this is the case. This would be a pretty serious change in the Terms of Service and Blizzard's stance the past 14 years if so.
